As I've just changed the consider command at our mud, I've probably made
something similar to what Russ Brown made, though I haven't seen the code
yet.
Things not accounted for is skills and spells.
How to overcome this problem is abit though, because
you might have spells and skills, but how you use them
is subjective (if you use them at all)..
So there is maybe a way.. to calculate this, but it's something that should
be calculated in advance so consider doesn't go totally slow. Maybe some
sort of stat saying Magic Power and/or Skill Power, still it wouldn't help
if you i.e. don't have mana enough, or skills like bash that only does 1
damage, but adds some rounds where victim can't hit..
And what would you do if you meet a mob that throws spells with i.e. dg_cast
or whatever. Not exactly easy to calculate those. I still haven't found a
good way to calculate things like that, still thinking though.
